What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Cornell’s Jane Doe case and the broader campus response, but the framing varies sharply. The Independent is the only outlet here foregrounding an emotional student meeting, criticism of university leadership, and calls for changes in handling complaints. Reuters instead leads with Governor Hochul and the appointment of Letitia James as special prosecutor, while Newsweek is alone in centering the question of Jane Doe’s changing account.
